Refugees Find Adjustment Hard In Far East
SHANGHAI (WNS)—The re¬ fugees from tho European lands of oppression who cherished hope of finding a haven in the Far East, find their adjustment to the conditions in this region of the world extremely difficult and it lias become necessary to caution prospective immigrants lo the Far East against immi¬ grating here at this time. Such is the report submitted to the HIAS-ICA Emigration Associa tion by its affiliate in Harbin Manchultuo, tho Jeivi.sh Infor¬ mation Bureau.
It is reported tha* Shanghai now iiartiora 4,500 Jewish re¬ fugees from Germany and Au¬ stria who recently arrived liere. The Jewish Retugee Committee has registered 3,9'15 ot these.

NEW VORK (WNS)—More than 100,000 jammed tho Court of Peace at the New York World's Fair for tlie dedication of the Jewish Palestine pavil¬ ion and were stirred by words ot Professor Albert Einstein, Senator William H. King, of Utah, Mayor LaGuardia and American Zionist leaders. - An address liy Dr. Chaim Weiz¬ mann in Paris was brought to the listeners by short-wave broadcast.
The danger that threatens the place of refuge was the mournful note in Dr. Albert Einstein's address as he offi¬ cially opened the building. "In Palestine a handful of people Is threatened by the political intrigues ot the Powers," he said, "Sheer mob violence would rob It of achievements viron at the price of hard work and bit¬ ter sacrifice. It is exposed to constant attadt, and every one of its members is forced to figlit for his very lite, even over and above tho bitter economic - struggle tor survival."
LaGnardia Siicalcs Mayor Florello H. LaGuardia stirred the multitude by calling the pavilion a temple of thanks¬ giving. "This is no exhibit, no advertisement," said the Mayor. "It is a token of grati¬ tude from' a' peuple-whir-fcrat gave tho world culture, a peo-' pie who gave us the fundamen¬ tals of lavif and order, a people who gave the world tho Ten Commandments. Tliey are now grateful for a tiny piece of land in the world where their op¬ pressed brothers may find ref¬ uge." The Mayor declared world contributions ot the Jew¬ ish people could be found in all of the exhibitions that' typify the aims ot the Fair, particu¬ larly in tliose of science and medicine.
It would be a tragic anti¬ climax if at this most critical moment in .Tewish history, Jcw¬ isli immigration to Palestine should be stopped or greatly curtailed and the obligations lecogni'zed in the Palestine man¬ date repudiated," said Governor- IjOhman in a message read by Lieut. Gov. Charles A. Poletti.
Senator King went further by declaring that "It is inconsist¬ ent witii common conception ot democratic policy for Great Britain to close the door.s of Palestine to homeless, to re¬ ward Arab brigands and gang¬ sters and at the same time to penalize the courageous Jewish pioneers who heroically defend not only .lewish colonies but the entire country. Certainly as a great democracy she cannot fol¬ low tho example.s ot the dicta- tor.s of the world and reduce to a scrap of paper the Balfour Declaration and the League ot Nations mandate which was en¬ trusted to her by 52 nations, in¬ cluding the United States." Senator King praised the cour¬ age ot the Jews in shunning the 1^36 ot violence in registering tlieir protest and indignation against the British White Paper.
